Hello,
My wife downloaded Google Chrome because apparently youtube told her to. As soon as the download completed a massive virus started popping up and shut down my computer. Now when we turn it on it shows a big blinking "WARNING" in the background, control alt delete has been disabled, and when it gets fully booted up it just shuts down again. I tried turning on the computer in safe mode and it tried but went back to the safe mode screen over and over again.
I'm moderately good with computers but this one is out of my league, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Configuration: Googlebot 2.1
Have you tried logging onto explorer or Firefox instead?

I seriously doubt that Google Chrome put a virus on your computer after it installed. You said that your wife was told to download it because she seen a YouTube video? It could be that it was a fake YouTube site and it told her to "click here" to download Google Chrome, when in fact it was a virus-infected copy of Google Chrome. There is a Facebook virus going around which is similar. CNN's Errol Barnett looks into a new worm infecting users of Facebook and other social networking sites, such as YouTube. Go to http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/03/02/barnett.facebook.worm.cnn to see the full video. |
Its real. Google Chrome is doubted to have a virus.

After way many bugs/trojan attacks in Internet Explorer I was advised to use Firefox.

Yea im dealing with this right now. I accidently downloaded trojan to my comp off of Chrome (it was in one of thier advertisments that I a accidently clicked on). So I reformated my computer because it got so bad. I went back and redownloaded Chrome because I liked it. well it automatically downloaded another (w/o me doing anything on it yet)! wtf ! |
